Automotive Smoke Machine Leak Detector, Fuel Pipe System Leakage Tester with Dual-Modes 12V EVAP Leak Down Tester with Flow Meter & Pressure Gauge for All Vehicles

I was pleasantly surprised with how well this worked. Created plenty of smoke within about 15 seconds of startup. Attachments are great. I love the inflatable attachment. I used it in the intake boot instead of the cone on my 2005 BMW X3 because it made a tight seal where no smoke escaped. The cone was just a little too small to make a tight fit and the leaking smoke made finding the real leak difficult.The inflatable attachment solved that problem. Although it can be damaged if your opening is too large requiring you to overinflate the rubber bladder and possibly damaging it. My intake boot opening is about 3 inches and that is about the max this inflatable attachment should be used for imo. Also make sure the bladder is at least at room temperature. A cold bladder will be more difficult to inflate and is more easily ruptured if overinflated.Unit does not come with oil because of shipping restrictions (that's my guess) but baby oil is cheap enough and if you accidentally inhale the smoke it smells sweet. Not sure if inhaling it is safe but it sure is a pleasant experience if you do..lolOne thing to consider , and it is not the fault of this product , you need a 12 Volt DC source to power the this unit. That's easy enough if the battery in the vehicle is in the engine compartment. Unfortunately the battery in my BMW is in the rear of the vehicle. I happen to have a very old battery charger that I used to power the unit. New , electronic chargers will probably not work since they are designed to not power up if they don't detect a minimal input voltage from a battery.Finally, I was sent the wrong unit ( I ordered the 803 but got the 703) . They responded very quickly to my complaint and rectified the situation the same day. They offered to send me the correct unit or refund me the difference. I decided that I did not really need the vacuum feature of the 803 so I took the refund. It was in my bank account 2 days later and included an additional 10 dollars for the inconvenience

The media could not be loaded.  Automotive smoke dectector machine this is a awesome little machine great for checking to see if you have any leaks from your fuel lines very easy to use and well worth the money I run my own automotive mechanics shop so this was a great addition to my shop great price and very easy to use snd very accurate

Wasn't sure what to expect for the price but I have to say I have used it in my shop on 11 vehicles so far and it has worked flawlessly. The machine using plain clear baby oil which is straight mineral oil puts out tons of smoke and helped me properly diagnose 11 out of 11 vehicles with it. Do not be scared to purchase this smoke machine.

Easy to use!

This thing is amazing! You won't regret this purchase.

I actually got this one for my father as I know he wanted to have a new one to replace the one he has had for a long time. To be honest, I didn’t know nor have ever used this kind of product before (so I have watched some youtube videos to understand how it works haha).Anyway, my father didn’t wait for me to wake up to do it together while we were at our vacation home (okay I woke up late and he’s always the first one to be up). So by the time I woke up, he had already tested/used this FXTUL leak detector on the truck with the check engine light on, and found multiple leaks in minutes he said. For your information, the truck is an old one we only use for certain purposes when we are up in the cabin. He said it did its job quite well, and that he would consider it’s quite good investment to have for at home purposes.

This smoke machine is solid and feels well made. It could not be simpler to use. Add You're oil and plug it in. Easy Pesy. 5 STARS

Amazing you can get this at this price point. Seems to work great, very handy when you need to look for vacuum leaks etc.
